Thursday, January 26, 2012 Education Ride 365: Speed Variations Hasten Speed Of Road WearinessDay 17 started out ambitiously enough. I intended to ride from the Thomas house in Ormond Beach to the SW Florida city of Bonita Springs. It was a fairly long ride, but plenty do-able. Per my desire to stay off the interstate system as much as possible on this yearlong journey...in favor of the less traveled highways and back-roads...I rolled through quite a few small towns with quite a bunch of changes in speed limits. I grew road weary earlier than normal! Soon I found myself calling Linda and Denis in Bonita Springs to let them know I would not arrive at their home until the following day. After the call, I located a wifi hotspot and pulled up hotwire.com to find a hotel room for the night.
I then spent part of my evening looking at pictures I shot around the Ormond Beach area. I was already nostalgic for the area, but knew I'd return to basically the same destination within a week. The pictures below are a few more I shot while touring the area around the Ormond and Flagler Beach area. Riding stats: Day 17: 146.9 miles traveled, 4 hours and 6 minutes moving time, 3 hours and 22 minutes of stopped time, 35.7 miles per hour moving average, 19.6 overall miles per hour average, and a max speed of 78.9 miles per hour.
